Hi all,
Had fun doing this one!
THIS IS A NEW MIX WITH REAL HORNS...
https://soundcloud.com/pierre-veniot/sky-psychic_1

Lots of SPY-Style INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Music Library with lots of success in Film and TV placements.
They’re looking for Mid-to-Up-Tempo Instrumentals in the general stylistic ballpark of the following references:

"We Are Going To Rob It" by Daniel Pemberton

Payback Theme by Chris Broadman

"Escape From East Berlin" by Daniel Pemberton

Mission Impossible Theme by Danny Elfman

Please send top-notch Spy-Style Instrumentals that could be heard in films like Ocean's Eleven and other films in that genre. Engaging motifs, infectious retro grooves, Jazzy instrumentation, and plenty of cool swagger and great energy are all musts for this request. Instrumentation that is generally similar to the references will suit your submissions best – think punchy horns, exciting electric guitars, funky bass lines, etc. Your arrangements can range from classic/retro Las Vegas-inspired Ocean's Eleven style to a bit more modern take with cutting-edge ear candy. Whichever approach you decide to take, please be sure that your production and any virtual sounds or instruments you use are high quality – nothing obviously MIDI-driven or dated will work for this request. If you have cool, groovy tracks that could sound at home in a Spy movie, '70's-style cop flick, or Las Vegas-set film, this company wants to hear them!

All submissions should be about 2 to 4 minutes long (give or take) with non-faded, buttoned/stinger endings. Do NOT copy the references in any way, shape, or form. Use them only as a general guide for tempo, tone, texture, and overall vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed.

Of course, comments, ideas and more is really appreciated.

Thanks for your precious time
Peace
Pierre

Great flute! At 34 maybe some modulation on the brass licks. Guitar in general needs to be just a few "clicks" forward. Hope that helps. Best! John

I really like the overall mood and the production of your song, great work.
The only problem is your brass sound. It sounds very fake and midi driven and maybe you will get it returned because if this.
Brass sound is one of the hardest things to emulate, when using vst sounds. It sounds cheasy really fast, even with the expensive libraries.
I'm also composing to this listing and I'm using real live played brass loops from Loopcloud and if you're patient enough there are some great stuff in there.
Good luck with your song.

Thanks John, I intend to put real horns there and ''fiddle'' the licks.
Left guitar is on the beat and Right panned guitar 1/64 after...
Do you suggest i push them both?

Many THX

Thanks Dennis, good luck too.
I was going to put real horns there (I play all saxophones)
And use this East-West library far in the mix.
Usually I can use a good sampled trumpet and trombone and play them with
a Yamaha midi wind driver, will try a few things and re-post

Many thx again
Peace

Pierre,

It sounds much improved. I would just maybe check whatever effects you've put on the horns from 34 to 49. Maybe the effects are not necessary? Just something else to consider. Best! John

Hi John, many thanks , just some reverb, probably too long and too roomy...

Good luck on your submission also!
